The rolling frame includes a rolling ring, a first connecting member, and a gear ring. Two rolling rings are connected by the first connecting member to form a firing channel. The gear ring is mounted on one of the rolling rings and meshes with the transmission gear.

[0007] The drive motor drives the gear ring to rotate through the transmission gear, thereby causing the launch channel to shift at an angle when launching the ball.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the cage includes a second connector and two support frames respectively disposed at both ends of the second connector. The support frames are provided with bearings for supporting the rolling ring, and multiple bearings are distributed on the outer side of the rolling ring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a fixing plate and a fixing clamp. The fixing plate is located between the transmission gear and the drive motor. Both ends of the fixing plate are provided with two connecting blocks with through holes. The connecting blocks of the two fixing plates on the same side clamp the connecting pipe to the end of the fixing plate and are fixedly connected by fasteners. The fixing clamp includes a fixing member that matches the shape of the drive motor. The middle part of the two fixing members clamps the drive motor in the middle of the fixing clamp.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a rolling steering mechanism for enriching the trajectory of a soccer ball launch includes a cage, a rolling frame, and a drive mechanism; the rolling frame is rotatably mounted inside the cage and is drive-connected to the drive mechanism.

[0036] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor and a transmission gear. The drive motor is mounted on the cage, and the transmission gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor. The rolling frame includes a rolling ring, a first connecting member, and a gear ring. Two rolling rings are connected by the first connecting member to form a firing channel. The gear ring is mounted on one of the rolling rings and meshes with the transmission gear.

[0037] The drive motor drives the gear ring to rotate through the transmission gear, thereby causing the launch channel to shift at an angle when launching the ball.

[0038] When the drive motor starts, it drives the gear ring to rotate via the transmission gear, which in turn causes the entire rolling frame to rotate around its axis. Since the launching channel formed by the rolling ring and the first connecting member rotates together with the rolling frame, the angle of the soccer ball can be changed, thereby enriching the launching trajectory.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the cage includes a second connector and two support frames respectively disposed at both ends of the second connector. The support frames are provided with bearings for supporting the rolling ring, and multiple bearings are distributed on the outer side of the rolling ring.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the second connector includes a connecting plate and a connecting pipe arranged opposite each other, and the drive motor is mounted between the two connecting pipes by a fixing assembly.

[0041] like Figure 10 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a fixing plate and a fixing clamp. The fixing plate is located between the transmission gear and the drive motor. Both ends of the fixing plate are provided with two connecting blocks with through holes. The connecting blocks of the two fixing plates on the same side clamp the connecting pipe to the end of the fixing plate and are fixedly connected by fasteners. The fixing clamp includes a fixing component that matches the shape of the drive motor. The middle part of the two fixing components clamps the drive motor in the middle of the fixing clamp. Both ends of the fixing component are provided with a connecting block with through holes. The connecting blocks of the two fixing components on the same side clamp the connecting pipe to the end of the fixing clamp and are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0042] The drive motor is mounted on the second connector via a fixing assembly (including a fixing plate and a fixing clamp). The fixing plate is located between the transmission gear and the drive motor, and is connected to the second connector by fasteners via connecting blocks at both ends. The fixing clamp directly holds the drive motor to ensure its stable operation.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the bearing includes a screw bearing and a bullseye bearing staggered on the axial end faces of the support frame. The radial end face of the screw bearing abuts against the radial end face of the rolling ring, and the axial end face of the bullseye bearing abuts against the axial end face of the rolling ring. The radial end face of the screw bearing is covered with a polyurethane coating.

[0044] Multiple bearings are mounted on the outer ring of the rolling ring, distributed across the support frame. Specifically, the bearings employ an alternating arrangement of screw bearings and bullseye bearings to enhance support. The radial end faces of the screw bearings are further coated with a polyurethane layer to improve friction and wear resistance.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the rolling frame also includes a rolling ring anti-bending component, which is disposed on the axial end face of the rolling ring.

[0046] The rolling ring is also equipped with a rolling ring anti-bending component, which increases the rigidity and stability of the overall structure.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, a groove is provided on the radial end face of the rolling ring to limit the first connecting member, and the end of the first connecting member is located in the groove.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first connector is a hollow tube. The end of the first connector is fixed to the rolling ring by fasteners. A support post is provided on the outer sleeve of the fastener at the end of the first connector. The support post is located inside the cavity of the first connector, and both ends of the support post abut against the inner wall of the first connector.

[0049] The first connector is a hollow tube design, with one end fixed to the rolling ring by a fastener. To increase strength, a support post is installed outside the fastener. This support post is located inside the cavity of the first connector, and both ends are in close contact with the inner wall of the first connector.

[0050] like Figure 11 As shown, the first connector has a through hole, and the launching mechanism can be connected to the through hole on the first connector through a fastener, thereby being installed on both sides of the rolling frame.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
